Notes:
• The name may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Do not use a symbol
as the first character.
• The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not
use a symbol or space as the first character.
• If multi-byte characters are used in a shared folder name used for both AFP and FTP, configure the client language
to match the characters that are being used. Also, you may be unable to access the folder if certain characters are
used in the name, so the use of letters and numbers only is recommended.
• The names of shared folders used for both AFP and FTP should not use characters from different language sets
(such as mixing Japanese and Korean characters, for instance).

which requires special-purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure.
